Chapter 42: Forced Marriage
It's dark, it's not too late, and the restaurant is still open.
Xiao Ruihua took advantage of the bright moonlight to take a serious look at Miss Jiang Si, who was quite active, and had the intention to refuse, but the cry of the grasshopper in his hand reminded him that he had missed Jiang Luyao...... His heart was not as calm as it appeared to be.
The picture of King Qin and Jiang Luyao kissing will stimulate him from time to time, I thought that Jiang Luyao would understand and understand him, but who knew that Jiang Erye had just been imprisoned in the prison, and she hugged the prince of Qin over there......
He has never cared about women, he has always been very loved by the ladies, and the only woman he has cared about has chosen the prince of Qin, and he doesn't understand the arrangements he made for Jiang Erye...... Even if Second Master Jiang is imprisoned, will he see that Second Master Jiang is in danger?
Wealth and danger are sought, how can there be perfect things in the world that do not need to be paid?
Even if Xiao Ruihua doesn't like Jiang Luqi to take the initiative to invite, he is still proud in his heart, without Jiang Luyao, he is still the preferred target of the ladies.
Besides, he also wants to hear what kind of surprise Jiang Luqi will give him, at this time, the depression of falling out of love also needs to be comforted by a woman who is more delicate than Jiang Luyao, not to mention that Jiang Luqi has no good impression of herself, Jiang Luqi's eyes are clearly imprinted with admiration and admiration...... Will she understand her painstaking efforts?
"Since Miss Jiang Si doesn't dislike it, I'll invite Miss Fourth to sit in the teahouse."
Jiang Luqi is not afraid of traveling at night with a strange man unmarried, Xiao Ruihua doesn't believe that he won't suffer.
Jiangnan is rich and extravagant, he studied until he studied with his classmates, celebrities indulged in painting boats, but he belonged to the thousands of flowers, and he didn't stay, and no woman could make him stop.
"Okay." Jiang Luqi raised her bright face, how could she still see that Mu Ne was dull at this time?
A pair of smart and cunning eyes made her delicate face look vibrant, that is, she took the initiative to invite, Jiang Luqi is not like a looking at a handsome man, she is more chic and natural.
Finally got rid of Zhao Duoze, Jiang Luqi seemed to have been reborn until this time, the experience of being a human being in two lives, and the life perception of living one more life than others made her look different, and her temperament was calm and outstanding.
The gloom and sadness that had been stuck in the eyebrows for a long time gradually dissipated at this time, and there was no longer the pressure of marrying Zhao Duoze, Jiang Luqi was like a colorful butterfly out of a cocoon.
Xiao Ruihua's profound gaze changed, Jiang Luqi is not a simple young lady, the Jiang family ...... How many special ladies are hidden?
The two of them have their own thoughts, one after the other walked into the teahouse, the combination of handsome men and beautiful women is always very attractive, Xiao Ruihua is handsome and elegant, Jiang Luqi is beautiful and charming, and the guests who are still drinking tea and chatting in the teahouse have set their eyes on them, and some people secretly asked, who are these two?
Xiao Ruihua is a newcomer to the capital, but it does not hinder his status as a talent, and soon everyone in the teahouse knows that the handsome young man who walks with the United States is one of the favorites of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Jieyuan, the undergraduate champion.
The tea guests sighed and envied Xiao Ruihua's affair.
Looking for a quiet tea room, Xiao Ruihua made a gesture of asking to sit down and asked the guy to serve tea. "The gnats in Xiao Jieyuan's hands were given by the second uncle?"
ββ¦β¦β
Xiao Ruihua was a little stunned again, Jiang Erye gave him a great shock, his parents died early, he didn't know how to call his father good, he had seen too many fathers and parents, but he had never seen Jiang Erye do this.
Putting the gnather cage aside, Xiao Ruihua didn't dare to touch the chirping gnat, "Second Master Jiang is a good person." β
Jiang Luqi was far away, and she couldn't hear what Zhao Duoze and Jiang Luyao said, but the prison was ...... She heard it, and asked again, "Xiao Jieyuan has seen the second uncle?" Why are you a step too late? If you arrive before the prince of Qin, you will be the one who will hold the beauty, and the second sister is very smart and will always make the best choice. β
Xiao Ruihua frowned and defended Jiang Luyao: "She can't be half-hearted, she is indeed smart and is indeed considering the choice, I will look for her first, and the result is the same, she can't choose me." β
"You can't compare to the prince of Qin at the moment." Jiang Luqi listened to Xiao Ruihua and still thought about Jiang Luyao, she was envious and jealous, without the experience of her previous life, how could Xiao Ruihua like Jiang Luyao?
The man Jiang Luyao once had a heart for back then was definitely not Xiao Ruihua, she had also been a bosom sister with Jiang Luyao, even if Jiang Luyao did not have a heart-to-heart with her, but she could feel that when she was in the boudoir, Jiang Luyao had someone in her heart, and Xiao Ruihua was still preparing for the exam at that time, and she met Jiang Luyao at all.
Their marriage contract surprised many people, after Xiao Ruihua won the championship in high school, Lord Xu, who had already entered Beijing, personally proposed marriage for Xiao Ruihua to Yongning Hou, and the object was Jiang Luyao, the second daughter of Jiang who was famous for her nonsense in Beijing.
At that time, Xu Da was inclined to the government and the opposition, and he went out of Jiangsu and Zhejiang with Xiao Ruihua, and it was rumored that he was very optimistic that Xiao Ruihua had the heart to marry his niece to Xiao Zhuangyuan, and no one would have thought that he would choose Jiang Luyao, who had nothing to do with it.
The life of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, Jiang Luyao's marriage is a beloved in the eyes of the ladies in the capital, how could she object?
However, when Jiang Luqi was married as a princess, I heard Jiang Luyao say softly, if you miss it, you miss it.
Who was missing? Later, she vaguely understood that Zhao Duoyi was no worse than Xiao Ruihua in any aspect, and her only regret was...... He was killed by Zhao Duoze.
Xiao Ruihua didn't defend Jiang Luyao anymore, instinctively he didn't believe that Jiang Luyao was a woman who loved wealth and nobility, but deep down he would rather think that she had failed him for the wealth in front of him, so he felt more comfortable.
Pouring a cup of tea, when he was about to hand it to Jiang Luqi, he found that she was in a trance, looking at who through himself...... Is he a stand-in?
Xiao Ruihua was not very happy, took a sip of the teacup, and said slowly: "Miss Jiang Si is not here to be stunned, don't you know what I need most?" β
Jiang Luqi thought a lot through Xiao Ruihua, including the great authority he had when he was a heavenly official in the future, and the pride of him after inheriting all the connections of Lord Xu, an important minister of the auxiliary government.
Later, Lord Xu simply regarded Xiao Ruihua as an heir and cultivated, otherwise no matter how capable he was, it would be impossible for him to sit in the position of a heavenly official at the age of thirty.
What's more is that she thinks of the person who is as famous as Xiao Ruihua - Zhao Duoyi.
Zhao Duoyi didn't get his due status all his life, Jiang Luqi thought of this, his heart hurt as if he was whipped, Xiao Ruihua inherited everything about Lord Xu, and moved towards the road of power, I remember that many people said that he could control the government and manipulate the change of the emperor in the future......
Jiang Luqi made up her mind, Xiao Ruihua, who could give her a good life, was the lover she chose, Zhao Duoyi's misfortune was not something she could change, she didn't have Jiang Luyao's courage to marry into the Qin Palace.
"Xiao Jieyuan needs to be soothed, doesn't he?" Jiang Luqi smiled warmly, "Second sister hurt you, it is she who has no eyes and beads, Xiao Xie Yuan's talent, and she will be far superior to the prince of Qin in the future...... The second sister will definitely regret today's short-sightedness in the future. β
"Looking for comfort, I can't find Miss Jiang Si." Xiao Ruihua smiled playfully, his eyes showed a hint of aggression, like a regular customer.
Jiang Luqi felt a feeling of being insulted in her heart, "Xiao Jieyuan entered Beijing one step ahead of Lord Xu, I don't know if I can arrange everything properly......"
"What do you know?" Xiao Ruihua grabbed Jiang Luqi's arm and asked sharply, "Say, who asked you to come?" β
In order to be famous, he lost an ignorant love, in the process of pouring Xu Guangli, he will never allow any more accidents, Xu Guangli's power is much greater than imagined, if his arrangement leaks the news, everything will be over, he doesn't have to think about the imperial examination, if he doesn't lose his head, it will be Lord Xu's grace.
Jiang Luqi was dragged by him and staggered, and was nervous when she faced Xiao Ruihua, who seemed to be eating people: "No one asked me to come, could it be that Xiao Jieyuan and Master Xu don't know each other?" β
No way? Jiang Luqi was a little dumbfounded, haven't they met yet?
Although she knew what would happen later, she was not Xiao Ruihua's wife after all, and she didn't know when Xiao Ruihua and Governor Xu, the feudal official, met...... Jiang Luqi was secretly annoyed, who would know about such a trivial matter?
Xiao Ruihua stared at her for a long time, slowly let go of his arm, and said flatly: "It's me who misunderstood Miss Jiang Si, I haven't had the opportunity to know Lord Xu so far, and when I solved the Yuan, but with the same department seeing Lord Xu, I was preparing for the exam in the capital, and I won the champion position with my strength, and I hope that Miss Fourth will say anything." "Xiao Jieyuan, sometimes the support of the power behind is also a kind of strength, isn't it?"
Jiang Luqi saw that Xiao Ruihua's face changed, and Cheng Zhu smiled in her chest, but what he said, how could it not resonate?
"Miss Jiang Si just wants to talk to me about Master Xu?"
Xiao Ruihua did resonate because of these words, in his opinion, as long as the goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter how much the means are, it doesn't matter how much you pay, as long as you can win, even if you don't have the support of your father and brother, you can still manage your strength.
"I want to ......" Jiang Luqi's eyes were dim, her eyes were cloudy, "Xiao Jieyuan, don't shake ......"
Xiao Ruihua felt a little inappropriate and stared at the tea that was brought in...... Damn, did you get the trick? In the past, he would not have fallen for this kind of indiscriminate means, but today because Jiang Luyao and the prince of Qin kissed, he was not as cautious as in the past, and he fell into the road with a little indulgence?
Supporting the tea table with both arms, Xiao Ruihua forcibly suppressed the erection, and beads of sweat flowed down his forehead, "Calm down, Miss Jiang Si, you have to calm down." β
Jiang Luqi also knew that she had been ambushed at this time, she was annoyed and hated in her heart, she was uncomfortable with the heat, and the heat wave seemed to roast her, seeing that Xiao Ruihua wanted to get up and leave, Jiang Luqi bit her lip, pulled out the hairpin from her head, and stabbed it into her arm, the blood soaked her clothes all of a sudden, and a blood lotus bloomed...... "You go, go quickly, don't worry about me." β
If she pounced, she would never be shocked now, Jiang Luqi's body fell backwards, the hairpin pierced deeper and deeper, and the little reason told her that she would hold on, not only to marry Xiao Jieyuan, but also to win his affection...... The woman who was sent to the door would be discarded by him casually.
Xiao Jieyuan was indeed shocked by Jiang Luqi's 'courage' and 'Zhenlie', his drug is very special, and he is extremely sensitive to blood, if he doesn't see blood, he can still insist, and he can see blood...... He could no longer suppress the tyrannical tendencies in his heart, like a tiger pounced on food, hugged Jiang Luqi tightly in his arms, his eyes were red and beast-like*, and tore Jiang Luqi's clothes......
"No, don't."
Although Jiang Luqi felt cool and comfortable when she was close to Xiao Ruihua, she still maintained her reserved and rational upbringing, and struggled desperately: "Don't, Xiao Ruihua, you calm down...... Calm down. β
Tear and pull, most of the dress was torn apart, Jiang Luqi didn't dare to call for help, what should she do if an outsider rushed in at this time? There is no matchmaking, so you can only be a concubine...... How could she be a concubine?
Jiang Luqi bit her wrist, suppressed the cry for help, and desperately pushed Xiao Ruihua, who was pressing on her, and regretted going out alone with Xiao Ruihua......
In another tearoom of the teahouse, a man dressed as a rich man chuckled, "How is it?" This is the secret medicine I got from Ouchi, specially for the emperor's fun, colorless and tasteless, it doesn't hurt the body, the golden gun doesn't fall, and it's cheap Xiao Jieyuan. β
"Let's rush in in a while, and the dignified Jiangsu and Zhejiang Xie Yuan hooked up with a young lady from a white family before the imperial examination, tsk, I think he will be robbed of his fame, and he still wants to be the champion?"
"He doesn't look at his identity, the top student in the undergraduate, and his son is bound to win. I used to want to give him a little color to see, but unfortunately he was cautious enough, rarely went out, and did not miss the Qinglou, and did not walk with women. Hehe, that woman is not bad-looking, and some people believe that she is a good family...... As long as you bite to death, Xiao Ruihua rapes a woman from a good family, I will see how to participate in the examination. β
"That is, Xiao Xie Yuan Yanfu has always been not shallow, and this time because his sister offended the prince's cousin, even if he gave his sister to the prince at this time, the prince would not intercede for him."
The prince's cousin can't deal with the prince of Qin, and he can't deal with the brothers and sisters of the Xiao family?
The last incident made him lose face, and the prince has not been so interested in Xiao Zhuohua recently, he thought that the prince had forgotten Xiao Zhuohua, so he jointly raised his son to frame Xiao Ruihua...... pinched Xiao Ruihua's ugly things in his hands, and were you afraid that Xiao Zhuohua would not obey orders?
β¦β¦
Just as they were about to rush in to catch the traitor, a few people dressed as family members appeared at the door of the tearoom, and without saying a word, they knocked the rich and noble sons unconscious and threw them into the tearoom again, "Master Hou, look? β
Yongning Hou kicked the drugged rich and noble son fiercely, and directly kicked the root of his life: "You go find a few of the most vulgar prostitutes, and let them entertain this group of bastards well!" Even Lao Tzu's granddaughter dares to frame me, is it true that there is no one in my Jiang family? β
After that, Yongning Hou broke into the tea room next door by himself, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Ruihua and Jiang Luqi hugging each other in rags, and he didn't care whether Xiao Ruihua was strong on Jiang Luqi or not, and raised his hand and gave Xiao Ruihua a slap, "Brute!" β
Xiao Ruihua was beaten a little dizzy, and the effect of the medicine had not yet dissipated, at this time in his eyes there was only venting, venting.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yongning Hou stunned Xiao Ruihua, Jiang Luqi turned the corner, and cried in embarrassment: "Grandfather ......"
"Evil Barrier!"
Yongning Hou also gave Jiang Luqi a slap, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your sisters, after this matter spreads, how do you let them marry?" β
"Grandfather, I didn't mean to, I was also framed?"
"Joke, who told you to run around with a man?"
Yongning Hou tore off his mask and threw it to Jiang Luqi, and couldn't help asking, "Did he do anything to you?" Without waiting for Jiang Luqi to answer, he patted his head, it's all like this, does it matter if there is substance?
"Pack up and go back to the house first."
There are many people outside, and such news can't be leaked. Yongning Hou grabbed Xiao Ruihua, who was unconscious, "Is he Jiangsu, Zhejiang Jieyuan?" Don't have a wife yet? β
"Yes......"
"Since you fell in love with him, I will fulfill you, but you have to remember that whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the future, it is all caused by your own rash actions today, no wonder others, if you don't come to the teahouse with him and stay quietly in the house, you won't make such a fuss."
"Grandfather, second sister, she is also ...... with the prince of Qin"
"Shut up!"
Yongning Hou slapped Jiang Luqi angrily, "Do you dare to compare with the second girl?" Without her plea, I will strangle you, the evil obstacle that corrupts the Jiang family, today. β
Jiang Luqi whined and cried about her grievances, what did she do wrong? Why would you fall into a trap with Xiao Ruihua? Why did someone harm Xiao Ruihua?
Isn't Lord Xu supposed to protect Xiao Ruihuade?
Even if Xiao Zhuohua didn't become the prince's concubine at this time, Xiao Ruihua shouldn't have been framed, shouldn't be...... Jiang Luqi, as a reborn person, must not understand what the butterfly effect is, even if she makes a little change, it may cause a hurricane effect.
Xiao Ruihua inherited Xu Guangli's political resources in his previous life, and in this life, he not only did not get Xu Guangli's appreciation, but also had the intention to overturn Xu Guangli...... wants to save the innocent Xu Ying.
A small change can make a completely different direction in history, and a change means a difference, and even if the general direction of history cannot be reversed, just the right details can often cause astonishing changes.
God is fair, and gave Jiang Luqi a chance to be reborn, but he will not watch her rely on the memory of rebirth to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and bully ordinary people who have not been reborn.
Yongning Hou took Jiang Luqi and Xiao Ruihua away, why did he come to the teahouse?
Things have to start with Jiang Luqi following Xiao Ruihua, Jiang Luqi's personal maid is very loyal, and has been quietly following the master, and later saw Jiang Luqi and Xiao Ruihua enter the tea room, the maid didn't feel very good, she didn't know Xiao Jieyuan, but her own young lady walked with a strange man, how dangerous it was, in case that man's intentions were wrong, wouldn't the young lady be discredited?
The maidservant went back to Yongning Mansion to report to the fourth lady because she was worried.
After hearing this, the fourth lady suddenly felt that the sky was dark, and she wanted to discuss with her husband, but she was afraid that her husband would hate Jiang Luqi even more, when she was helpless, the second wife happened to come to her because of one thing, and the second wife had a very good impression of the fourth brother and sister in the past, because the fourth brother and sister were very friendly to her and always comforted her...... Of course, these are the thoughts of the second wife.
The second wife broke out with rare carefulness, and saw that the fourth wife had something on her mind, and after her questioning, she knew that Jiang Luqi had not returned from going out, and the second wife had no words, so she dragged the fourth wife to find the old lady, and kept saying along the way: "Fourth brother and sister, don't worry, my daughter said that there is no problem that the old lady can't solve, and it is most appropriate to find the old lady if there is something, and my daughter will not lie to me." β
Yongning Hou was competing with the old lady, after hearing this, the old man also broke out, and led the guards to the teahouse under the guidance of Jiang Luqi's maid, he was a general who had led the soldiers, and his heart was as careful as a hair, and he soon found a group of people hiding in the shadows......
A scandal was neatly pressed by Yongning Hou.
Yongning Hou planned to beat Xiao Ruihua hard, but remembered that his second child was still counting on Xiao Ruihua to set off a storm and bring down Xu Guangli, plus Xiao Ruihua's sister-in-law was the fiancΓ©e of the second grandson, the old man just splashed him up with cold water, and asked with a cold face: "Boy, I don't care if you are Jiangsu and Zhejiang Jieyuan, or the champion, you are strong against my granddaughter, what do you say about this?" β
The effect of Xiao Ruihua's body has passed, but Fang Cai's memory has not disappeared, and infinite remorse wells up in his heart, he should not indulge himself because of a momentary gaffe, and lose his cautious mind in the past, this time fortunately, there is Yongning Hou, otherwise there will be a big mess.
He pressed his forehead, knelt in front of Yongning Hou, and said calmly: "Granddaughter of the light order, it is the fault of the next, I ...... I am willing to tie the knot with Miss Jiang Si, and I hope that Hou Ye will be gracious. β
The corners of Yongning Hou's mouth curled, Xiao Ruihua is a character, he can measure the gains and losses so quickly, he should give up, and admit his mistakes when he should admit his mistakes, if Xiao Ruihua refuses to be responsible, or emphasizes that he has been drugged, although Yongning Hou is not as good as in the past, it is not easy to clean up the helpless Xiao Ruihua?
"Will you be kind to the four girls?"
ββ¦β¦β
The hair that was scattered blocked Xiao Ruihua's face, Yongning Hou's words, he didn't know how to answer, Jiang Luqi was also innocent, he was implicated, but if Jiang Luqi didn't catch up with him, maybe there would be no today...... As long as one day, or as long as an hour, he can completely get out of the shadow of losing Jiang Luyao and regain his strength, but when he was most frustrated, something like this happened, Jiang Luqi sent himself to the door, how could he not hate Jiang Luqi?
"She is my wife, and she has been my wife all her life."
Xiao Ruihua can only give Yongninghou this guarantee, no matter how much he can't afford to give, he is not willing to give it.
Yongning Hou sighed, his granddaughter did such an ugly thing, no matter how much he asked, it seemed too unkind, except for Xiao Ruihua, who could marry Jiang Luqi?
"The second girl just said that my son was imprisoned in prison, originally she wanted to see you tomorrow to talk about what to do next, but something like this happened, you are his cousin-in-law in the future, she is not good to meet you and your sister again, the matter is still ...... for me to talk about"
Yongning Hou asked Xiao Ruihua to get up, and the two got together to talk secretly, Xiao Ruihua's eyes were very bright after listening to Yongning Hou's plan, Jiang Luyao came up with it? His chest was stuffy and painful, maybe he really made the wrong choice,
On the other hand, the old lady taught Jiang Luqi a hard lesson, punished her for reciting scriptures in front of the Buddha to atone for her sins, and asked her daughters-in-law to take care of their daughters.
The author has something to say: Jiang Luqi paid the price for his changes, Xiao Ruihua is not unable to do it, nor is he not smart, but he has no backstage, he can be cautious in the past, when he fell out of love, he was obviously careless, offended the prince's group, cough cough, he will remember this lesson. The reason why he wants to marry after high school is that he wants to choose a powerful father-in-law, who is more conducive to his career, which is very realistic and real.
